Found at the far eastern end of Country Club Drive, bordering the ocean and surrounded by a very large beautifully mature garden is a very special home. And this is a home in the true sense of the word as it is one of the very first villas to be built at the Tryall Club and has remained in the same family ever since. When the owners came to first visit the land, as they turned to walk away from the ocean a white owl was sitting staring on the bough of a tree and so it was only natural that their home should be called White Owl.
If you dream of staying awhile in a beachfront cottage where the waves lap the shoreline, the trade winds blow and the sea and sky constantly shift from one shade of blue to another then this will not disappoint and you may well feel that you have found your utopia. Inherently Jamaican in its spirit and through the colorful works of art that adorn the walls which include paintings and sculptures of owls, the interior style is a celebration of tropical family life with white painted furniture, hand- stenciled pieces, soft- hued fabrics and books to read. The lofty living room is the core of the house with doors that open up on all sides to allow the sea air to flow through and the painted furniture is arranged to provide several seating areas. At the ocean end of the room, doors lead out to a very pretty veranda which flows around the outside of the room, arranged with white rattan chairs to relax in, tables for drinks, a dining area and the swimming pool close by. The beach and sea are just steps away as is the rolling expanse of garden to the right. The private 200 foot long pier is a splendid attribute and there are numerous spaces along the wide private shorefront upon which to dine, sit quietly and read, practice yoga or recline and await the green flash as the sun disappears over the horizon.
White Owl has three large bedrooms and a smaller 4th bedroom each with a flat screen television. All are air-conditioned and have ceiling fans, apart from the smaller bedroom which only has a ceiling fan. You will more often than not find that by being so close to the sea that the ceiling fan is sufficient together with the ocean breeze. Pleasing pastel colors, white painted and wicker furniture and interesting paintings and objects ensure that each room has its own particular character. The extremely large master bedroom faces both the ocean and the gardens with doors leading out to the sea. The high conical ceiling and graceful window are reminiscent of a classical Jamaican Great House. The en suite bathroom has a shower and a separate bath tub. The second, equally spacious guest bedroom has a king size-bed and opens to face the swimming pool and sea; the third bedroom has twin beds which can be made into a king and the fourth smaller bedroom has two twin beds which can also be turned into a king. All have en suite bathrooms with a bath/shower combination.
